So we're coding in an ill-defined, ambiguous and error prone language.

Sweet, I can't believe some people don't love this.

I really dislike "tap to click" for some reason. I like the feedback of actually pressing it.

I had the same issue but updating uBlock fixed it.

It's completely different to snip a cheap wire lock or even just pull hard on it and have the lock break versus pulling out the angle grinder and making a huge racket for a minute.

It's not that hard to implement a linked list in Rust in exactly the same way as in C or C++, using raw pointers, and putting a safe API around it.

I don't think it's unpopular at all that bash scripts suck a lot.

The problem is that on regular 13/14" laptop screens, it becomes hard to have two code editors side by side if you make the lines too wide.

And that's before we factor in all the nonsense IDEs like to clutter the screen with.

My half solution is to use a keyboard that physically feels quite different to help my brain use a different mode. The Linux keyboard is a big heavy mechanical keyboard while on the macbook I just use the built-in keyboard.

It's not a perfect solution and I still make mistakes, but it helps.
